Rom similar to the Xperia Z1 for the i9305? - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hiya. I have an S3 i9305 4.4.2 on CM11. I recently got a preowned Xperia Z1 but it's too big and uncomfortable for me to hold so I'll sell it on. However, I love the UI on the phone. Are there any roms that emulate this, or certain features? Even the messaging app is clean and the font is really nice. I'm really smitten!

Xperia Z As smooth as Note 2 or Nexus 4??

Hi guys,
I just used the Xperia Z at Sony stores, I like the design very much n overall phone looks good. The problem I see is that home screen transition is NOT as smooth as one would expect from 2013 device, my Note 2 is butter smooth.
I have seen in youtube videos as well, the transition on XZ is not very smooth, a bit a lag still there. What do you think its just problems with pre production models ??? And final product will be butter smooth !!

The guy who had XZ but removed his the verge article had final retail version and he did say it lags in just switching home screens with heavy widgets, no where else.

Use the same launcher as your note 2 and same widgets, Z will be smoother than your note 2.
With Z widgets your note 2 will lag even more.
So you are worrying about nothing actually.
But seeing your past few phone purchases I think S4 is better suited for you

Same condition. Although I'll wait for CM dev's review as I can't live on touchwiz and i'll be flashing Paranoid Android right away. Btw Xperia Z with even Apex launcher on stock ROM would be better than Nexus 4. Nexus 4 has thermal throttling and it's totally fkd up.
Well.. I'm not familiar with Sony devices but they all look pretty darn good. The ZX would be my first Sony if I do get it and I've been reading up and developer support seems better.
If that's the case, I'm pretty sure the device can speed up. For a start.. by using Nova launcher and perhaps overclocking.
And yea.. I can't wait to try it out at the Sony store!

[Q] Xperia Chinese keyboard has stopped?

Hi there, I have a problem with my phone. The Xperia Chinese keyboard which leaked from Honami is amazing, accurate and beautiful! I have tried almost all the ROM we have there in Xperia Z Android Development, the new Xperia input method is built-in in many ROMs. The Xperia International keyboard and Xperia Japanese keyboard both work fine.But it always stops when I try to use the Xperia Chinese keyboard. I have tried clear data in setting-app-all, not work.
Anyone has the same problem? Anyone can figure this out? THX!
See pic below
no one willing to help?
It's a known issue. Don't make a new thread when this can be answered in its original thread.

Thanks!
Have you even tried google? Results show up straight away.
Xz1c, as the name implies, Xperia z1 compact. Ykg&exr is the name of the guys that port stuff. Nwz-f886 is name of a Sony Walkman

Thoughts on a new z3 rom for the xperia sp

Hello XDA,
I guess you know me from my CM11s Port ROM and I guess you also know that the system dump of z3 was out yesterday by the community. Let's get into the point shall we? So I'm thinking of creating a z3 ROM for kitkat and I want your suggestions and thoughts on what you might want in the ROM so that maybe I and even other devs can have a resource to look to and see what the community generally wants in a z3 ROM for the xperia sp. So let the discussion begin shall we?
Regards,
Furrydaus
Base it on MrSteve555s cm11 for LBL pls,I dont want to cry that another cool ROM is only for UBL,and has an old base.
I mean,the best choice would be to base the UBL variant on the latest official cm11 nightlies,and LBL on MrSteve555s Cm11 weekly releases.
EDIT
You can use RepeXpersiS if you need some files,that ROM is an excellent "port" of the Z2 4.4 for our SP.
Yes i think that mrsteve555 cm11 would be good because its locked bootloader and easy to install and use.. Other than that in my opinion if it is possible do something in the rom so that all of sony apps work in the rom for example get a sony app from play store and simply install..

Anybody can tell me that how samsung developer has ported full s5 rom to samsung s3
And on xperia no such port is been seen even not the port of xperia z to other xperia devices really miss that on xperia....

I think that SAMSUNG gave sources which allowed them to port the s5 4.4.
Then what is system dump, is it a different thing?

Hm.Not sure how to put this right.
If someone gives you a star shaped piece,you cant fit it in a square hole.
Without the sources available for our devices,we cant link everything to a state where the ROM is usable,or even bootable.There are guides to port manufacturer ROMs,so feel free to try it yourself.
I only miss bravia engine and the illumination LED bar on the RepeXpersiS,but when i return to eXistenZ,there is the ugly,old JB lockscreen which destroys the perfect z3 look you get on the RepeXpersiS.

I am not into developing either.I wanted to try that guide myself,but one would ahve to download over 500 mb of thrash over a 500kb/s internet,just to see if his project that already has low probabilities will work out.I wil lrather wait for the ROMs.You do have z3 apps ported.So install them.There are z3 app ports for 4.3,and everything is amazing,but my spine jumps out when i use my phone and feel like i have the z3,and then see the old lockscreen that cant be replaced.Xperia Lockscreen isnt fully compatible with 4.3 either,will try to use expanded desktop on it...

I think s3 is comparable to Z because it was flagship

But from price and specs point of view it is somewhat similar to sp and sp is better performer than s3....

I completely agree with @Marionette
I think everything on Existenz will be perfect as long as we could use new ported apps and features on it and it's not important if it's android 4.3 or 4.4
and the only big need now is a perfect systemui compatible with new z3 home and a z2 lockscreen port
So if anyone could use new sony ports on the latest xperia sp stock rom I think it would be better because that way we could also have dialer and contacts and themes and many many more that still arent ported on cm11
